President Louderback of the Daven
port & Rock Island street railway cotn
pa ly, yesterday let the contract to John
Vclk & Co., for the depot which is to be
!oc ated immediately north of the main
pavilion at the tower which
is now rapidly approaching
completion. The depot will be a
ne it structure with abundant accommc
d ions for all while awaiting trains.
W riding walks will lead to the summit of
the tower. Contracts were also let for
two summer pavilions of smaller dimen
sic r.s, one to be located on cither side of
th dei ot. An immense bell will be
pi iced on the top of the depot building,
which will be rung before the last car
le:.ves at night, anil which will be heard
H oyer the ground.
The m:rry -go -round which ia to be
among ttie tower amusements, arrived
la: t night and will be erected in time for
Saturday if possible. It will carry 40
pi. rsons , and itis proposed to operate it by
electricity although that power will not
be applied at once.
In order to protect the grounds and
bt ildings as far as possible. President
Leuderhack has caused the following
ru es of order to be posted:
These grounds and buildings are for the
pi rasure and accommodation of the pub
lic, anil they ate cordially invited to enjoy
th m, but are earnestly requested to ob
se vc the following:
Do Lot deface the buildings bv writing
oi the wails or cutting the woodwork.
Gen'lemen will please not spit tobacco
on the floors or porches.
Do not destroy the trees and blossoms
or other property of the company.
We cannot maintain these grounds and
bi ildings without the co-operation of the
public, and trust they will treat them
witn the same care they would their own
property.
The n quests on the part of the com
pany, evincing as they do, pride in the
prnxrtv, should, and doubtless will, meet
w.th the co-operation of all orderly dis
pi sid people.
Although the improvements at the
tower will not be completed by Saturday
y t the company is straining every effort
j to tet thi m as far along as possible by
ttat time, which is to be the occasion of
tho Woodmen log rollinp. The company
w 11 also have car accommodations for all
w jo desire to visit the tower on that day .
Electrical Engineer Fredericks is work
ii B on the equipment of mere curs espec-
ia ly designed for big dajs, which will not
bt ready by Saturday, but will be by the
Fourth. Two of them will be in mense
o en cars, 18 feet long are brand new
aid will be equipped with Thomson
11 mston motors.
Arr.onf other improvements which may
s( ring tip about the tower as following
in the wake enterprise shown by the syn
di :ate, there is likeiv.to be a 825, txto hotel
er?cted in the near future, and further
tbn that the beautiful Chautauqua
gr rands heretofore referred to in the
Asses.
There is ceitainly no better or more
accessible place for picnic gr. unds
thtn the tower, and now that the season
to Sunday school picnics is upon us, it
wi uld be a good plan for the syndicate to
ar ange a series of denomination union
picnics to the tower, that is, to provide cx-cu-ston
rates to Sunday School scholars
of the three cities. It wouid be a nice
idea to have the Methodist Sunday schools
of Rock Island, Moline and Daven
port join in a picnic at one time, the
Catholics at another, the Episcopalians
at another, the Presbyterians at another,
ete . With the company's track facilities
now it could bring these Sunday Schools
fre m almost any church in the three cities
together, at a given point and take them
ou . together

Cushman made his debut in the I.-L
league yesterday with the Twin Citys at
Joliet, and though the boys lost the game
to the Convicts the work of both pitchers
was good. The home team finished the
season in sixth place, the Hautentauts
slipping into fi'th place by a scratch.
The new season opens today with the
home club at Terre Haute. Q'jincy and
Rockford laying off until Sunday.
It is hoped that the new double 3eason
plan may prove a benefit to the league,
but TrtB Argus sees no reason to deviate
from its former position that the single
season would be as well for the league
in the long run, notwithstanding the
fact that one of the clubs would leave
the league if the former was not
adopted.
The first season of the I. -I. league was
finished yesterday with the clubs in the

Mayor McConochie has notified Pres
ident. Hodges that he is in receipt of
the resolutions from the mass meeting
IS
II
held a few days ago, and states that
some :ction will be taken in regard to
the playing of games on Sunday.
If the mayor should go to the extent
of an attempt to suppress Sunday games
in Rock Island entirely, it would un
doubtedly bring about the death of the
local club, and the loss of the money in
vested in it by our citizens and those of
Moline, unless perhaps Davenport should
come to the rescue anel provide a place
for playing the Sunday games there, as it
is understood that city is quite willing
to do.
Moline having challenged Rock Island
there will be a mach game of ball at the
Ball Park between nines from Rock
Island and Moline composed of the fol
lowing:
Moline Will Vt lie, Chas. Velie. Robt.
Sw'.n, Chas. Skinner, Frank Keator
Jas. Huffman, Jdo. D. Cady, Frink Bir-
nard and Jno Samuels.
Rock lsl-ind Jno. Gait, M. Lee Gat!,
Fav Lynde. Fr d Ktnney, Will Dart. Hus
sell West, Spencer Kobinson, Louis Rosen
field, Gus Brown.
The proceeds of which will be devoted
to charity. The game will be called at 4
o'clock, admission 25a including grand
stand. Go out and see the fun.
The Young Nine Stars defeated the
Rivals yesterday by a score of 39 to

tery for the former and Meanor and
Mullit'an for the latter.
The Mirror in speaking of Biily Cat
tun's recent practice games at Chicago,
has the fallowing:
"Uatton made an excellent showing
during his games with Slosson. I was
present one night when he led off in the
fir.-t inning with a run of 9:! and later on
followed this with 116. He led the stu
dent all along fur the first half of the
game. Cotton showed by his p.ayins;
that he has greatly improved since he
participated in the shortstop tournament
which took place in this city a little over
a year ago. In fact his playing surprised
everyone. There is no doubt whate ver
that, if Catton was to settle down and
make up his mind to play billiards he
would soon reach a point where he would
give the leaders hard work to maintain
their superiority.

member of the Central church choir here
